GASP: Release Notes

Notes for v5.0.3

Added error checking which prevents running WENO in conjuction
with Chimera because this combination is not currently
supported.

Disabled the EnSight output binary option which is not
currently supported.

The zone name as well as the zone number is printed when
exporting Ensight geometry files.

Added GASP-CGNS import support for Pointwise 16.04R2 and
later. This allows users to set the boundary conditions
inside Pointwise and have them imported into GASP along with
the grid.

Added support for CGNS face based unstructured zonal boundary info

Better error reporting for CGNS import

Added a check for the xml file version to prevent opening
files created with newer versions of GASP.

Enabled GUI to read xml file without a grid file

Flow solver can now create the solution (.sln) file if it does
not exist

Improved support for running MPI under MS-Windows

Added more robust checking for stopgasp/writegasp files. This
allows checking multiple file names, such as stopgasp.txt

Reorder of turbulent output parameter in order to allow y+ and
u+ to be non-zero at the wall. This allows users to more
easily see minimum y+ values.

All images displayed within the GUI, such as equations, are
now imported into the GUI at run-time. Image files have been
relocated to $(AEROSOFT_HOME)/share/images/ which will require
customers to download new support files.

For unstructured meshes, added additional error checking and
corrections to zonal boundary building. Partition info is
currently saved in the grid file. If the partition data
changes, the user now has a choice to save and continue or not
save changes.

Added new surface-reaction boundary condition which performs a
species mass conservation balance between surface reactions,
user prescribed wall blowing and species difusion.

Corrected how the Gordon/McBride curve fits are limited when
temperature goes out of range. Values for Cv are now held at
the min or max range and values for internal energy are
computed at the min or max range and then corrected using
dT*Cv.

Corrected error in reading wall distances from grid file. In
some MPI cases the read would hang up.

Corrected an error generating variable names for output
through EnSight.

Corrected an error for turbulent wall output in which the
iturbw flag was not correctly set in some situations (multiple
turb walls in a zone).

Corrected an error when there were multiple sweeps that use
WENO with different orders of accuracy.

Corrected an error importing vGrid ASCII formatted grids.

Removed write of DisplayAxes to xml file since it may cause a
crash on some systems
